Insignificant collections: a home for the proud but unimpressive

[VestCunt]

Get your shoes off the furniture!

And I thought having 3 pairs was a lot for a guy....

That shoe collection IS pretty impressive.  Lots of great classics!

I had a pair of original Jordan IVs, Jordan Vs, '90 Air Flight, '91 Airmax, and Reebok Pump in the early '90s.  Back then I begged and pleaded with my parents to buy these $100+ shoes and I remember telling them something to the effects of: "Nike Air shoes are so comfortable it's like walking on air and they make you jump higher with the large air pillow".

In retrospect, I feel absolutely terrible about forcing my parents to spend so much money on buying shoes for me.  

I should have begged for Turbo stuff instead. O:)

Ha yeah I had some pumps when I was like pre-teen those were great.  I almost bought a pair some years back when they re-did them but never got around to it.  I have a similar story w/ Scottie Pippen's first shoe.  I begged my mom for some and they were expensive as hell too.  Then i got them home and ruined and scuffed them super quick from playing outside.  I was super upset I wanted to cry I'm sure i probably did.

Let's see: boots, bowling shoes, fancy shoes, running shoes....D'oh!

I all of a sudden fell into a comic book collection for which I have ZERO interest in...

Heh, Leather & Lace.

[bob]

Heh, Leather & Lace.

yeah, no shit, rediculous.

I thought the "electronics" one from radio shack may at least have some cool sci-fi artwork in it or something.  Um, no, wind turbines and walkie talkies.

Ah hell, I forgot the boots in the garage.  Apparently I have a lot too.

Hey guys anybody remember Bucky O'Hare??!!!

Really no one?

I still love you Bucky...

[PunkCryborg]

Wow that's awesome stuff! I liked that cartoon a lot as a kid and still have a bucky aciton figure. I'd love the arcade PCB!

[hizaygizirlz]

That Bucky stuff is awesome.  I like that show and I really liked the NES game a lot.  I never owned it, but it is on my short list.

Me too!

One just went recently for around $75 but I passed on it because I currently have no means of playing the board itself.

They used to have a Bucky O'Hare arcade at my locale Chuckie Cheese that I played the shit out of it

The NES game is just too hard for me.  The graphics, music, sound, control and gameplay are great but the difficulty factor ruins it for me.

The massive SMS "RPG" set:

The massive SMS "RPG" set:

That is indeed a nice set of games you have there.

[futureman2000]

SMS rpg collection crosses the line, and is significant. Nice set!

[RoyVegas]

Wow, Miracle Warriors!  The first RPG I ever played. A friend of mine had it.......  Ah, the good old days.

+1 Yep, that SMS collection is impressive and significant. 

Here's a unique/weird collection that's quite insignificant.  The first 9 California Lottery ticket scratchers with advertising pamphlets from '85 & '86. 

Not sure why, but I collected these back in the mid '80 when I was a kid.  Guess I couldn't afford to collect Garbage Pail Kids or Baseball cards like regular kids back then.

Dude, I totally dig this! It perfectly fits the spirit of this thread 

[hizaygizirlz]

Having issues w/ making this post that is why all the edits.

I really like the lotto tickets and the bucky stuff I think those are the most unique.

[hizaygizirlz]

This is the place to brag about collections that no one cares about. Stuff that's either weird, ugly, undesirable, not CIB, or somehow incomplete.

For example, I have all five Supergrafx games, but my gamer cred is in the red because two of them are loose and only one has the all-important cardboard sleeve. I'll never have a smokin' photo with them like Tats.

I also collect and play Ultima games, but only the console versions. Real Ultima gamers laugh and point. I have a lot of D&D and SSI games for home consoles, but they're worthless and no one gives a shit because they're not made by Square or Working Designs.

So post your underdog collections. I'll scrape some photos together.

I know this is way earlier in the thread I was doing a re-read, but don't you have a picture of the Ultima stuff somewhere.  I feel like I've seen that before.

You should throw that up again if you still have it on your PC somewhere that one was pretty neat.

Bucky was so much fun. I LOVED the arcade game. Got to play the NES game a few times and it seemed like it was fun. The cartoon was a blast. Nice collection too btw. I hadn't thought about Bucky in ages!

[MrFlutterPie]

Thank you

I love to see people remember the show with fond memories

Oh yeah, nice of you to remember:

Got the manual for RoV1, but still looking for a box. Also the books for SMS Ultima. And waiting for Ultima ][ TG-16. ;)

[hizaygizirlz]

Yeah that's cool.  Other people from earlier and the future throw up pics of your shelves of treasures!

Haha, thanks.  I thought it might fit well in this thread. 

Nice Ultima collection!  I'd like to see more pic of people's collections as well.  I have some insignificant video game related collections that I'll dig out when I get a chance.
